Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1021 Seven Branches
When he said this, Chen Yan asked:

"Speaking of which, why don't you go to Starlink?"

Speaking of this, Koschiranfor Krapeter's expression immediately became a little complicated:
"You may not believe it, Mr. Bardo, but I am actually a patriot."

Chen Yan waited for his explanation.

"To be more precise, I am a [lover of the world] - I want to use my own abilities to make the world a better place.

Although it is a bit hard to say, it is undeniable that I do not need to travel all the time for food and clothing - I have a relatively wealthy family, and my father has caught up with the trend of the times in recent years and made a lot of money. For a small amount of money, he and my mother were already preparing to become the first aborigines of Mars... It probably cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. I don't know the specific amount because I haven't contacted them for a long time. "

Everyone has their own ideas, and money makes people have more ideas.

“I’m fed and clothed, so I want the people I see to be fed and clothed too.

I was born in a wealthy family, and even though I left home to study, I did not feel embarrassed because of money in college—I was rich, so most of what I felt from the world was kindness, and these kindnesses cultivated my kindness toward the world, so I became who I am today.

Fortunately, I met you before being beaten down by society and losing these goodwill. "

Koschilanfur Krapeter winked at Chen Yan.

"It's not that I don't know the dangers of society, it's just that while facing those dangers, I also feel the kindness from you, the kindness from my classmates, and the kindness from... strangers. You may not believe it, but in my eyes , most strangers are kind, even if they are a little stupid and often make stupid decisions, but most of them are not their fault, but just because they don't have enough money.

There is a slang saying among Asians, "Cang Lin knows etiquette by being practical." I think it is quite right. "

Kos spoke poor Tianshenzhou dialect, but Chen Yan did not feel bad. Language is just a tool for communication. Besides, they are not experts in writing. No matter how poor the language is, it is enough to understand it. .

Presumably others had the same feeling when hearing Chen Yan's accented Imperial dialect.

"I'm not sentimental, nor am I a virgin. It's just that everyone's pursuit is different. Some people pursue money, some pursue beauty, and my pursuit is to make people live a good life. From the perspective of 'everyone pursues different things', I and I Everyone else’s pursuits are no different—it’s just pursuits and desires.

Now, Starlink cannot realize my pursuit - the resources of the entire empire are leaning towards Starlink, and the people above are living a much better life than the people below. Why should I serve those people? "

When Koschilanfur Krapeter finished speaking, a clear synaesthesia occurred between the two synaesthetes without any contact. Their thoughts merged with each other, so they could not communicate with each other through words. An "understanding" of the medium arises.

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to understand the significance of human beings needing to evolve "synesthesia."

After this moment, Chen Yan said:

"Another more important thing is that I want to invite Teacher Ned Roddy to come to the island chain. I am not questioning his ability, but he stays alone in Yanan City, and it is difficult for us to help with many things."

Kosciranford-Clapeter responded:

"As it should be."

The two discussed that after completing the handover of the vocational school's academic affairs, Kos will go to Z Group and establish a personnel department. At that time, he will collect and organize all the personnel information of Z Group, and all these actions can only gain Chen Yan's spiritual support. Help - Although Z Group calls itself a group, it is actually a grassroots team. Various departments have not been established, not even finance. There are many people that Koschilanfur Klappet needs to recruit, and the recruitment task can be imagined to be arduous.

Chen Yan did not leave. He was anxious to do one thing now:

"In addition, you need to find me some people who understand the program now. Our laboratory is in urgent need of manpower... Interns are also fine, professionals are best... It is best to let me talk to them alone, and finally It’s better to sign the contract on the spot, and it’s best to be able to come to work tomorrow morning!”

Chen Yan's eagerness made Koschilanfur Krapeter understand how empty Z Group was. He immediately contacted his classmates and after several twists and turns, he identified several programmer candidates.

The two of them immediately left the vocational school and moved towards the position of the first candidate.

'Hopefully there will be a good outcome. '

Chen Yan looked at the mechanical hive above his head that had almost returned to its original state, and walked towards the large elevator on the streets where the number of people had reduced significantly.

……

……

At this moment, the imperial capital.

In a certain Internet of Things warehouse that is not open to the public, transport vehicles and assembly lines are running non-stop, sorting and classifying various types of containers and transporting them into the cargo bay leading to the lunar orbit matrix.

The interior of the warehouse is very bright, but there are no devices using reflective materials, because light will interfere with IoT devices, and in such a warehouse, any system errors caused by physical information are not allowed.

Data beings work diligently in the hardware carrier. The underlying code destined them to possess normal human thinking abilities while being tireless and passionate about work.

In an inconspicuous gap between the steel plates on the top floor of the warehouse, Ogami has been waiting here for three days and three nights. After parting with Chen Yan last time, he followed a clue he had obtained to find this place. To find an item, it is a relic from a long time ago.

Finally, at a certain point in time that had been predicted, Nuomi Guo’s voice was transmitted through the encrypted wireless channel into Ogami’s modified left arm, and then transmitted along the data line into his earphones:
' appears, in the third container from left to right directly below you. '

at last……

When Ogami fell from a height, the [Short-range Data Distribution Center] on his omnic hand made him become nothingness like air from the perspective of data life.

He landed lightly on the container, easily pried open the container, lay down inside, used his omnic prosthetic hand to re-weld the container, and held his breath after completing all this quickly.

The [Short-Distance Data Distribution Center] continued to operate, allowing him to easily escape the next few rounds of penetrating scans, and entered a dark storage space as the container was transported.

After using the [Sensitive Data Interruption Transmitter] on the smart prosthetic hand to detect the environment he was in, Ogami confirmed that it was temporarily safe, then pried open the container, jumped sideways and left the box, and stood firm on the side of the box. .

This batch of goods is civilian supplies transported to Starlink by a logistics company in the Imperial Capital. Most of them are daily necessities prepared by people on the surface for their families in Starlink. Mixed with them is this extraordinary existence. The mailer intends to Concealed by other civilian supplies to get through.

Ogami has been staring at this thing for a long time, and now, it finally appeared in front of him.

When he was thinking about whether to touch the thing directly, Nuomi Guo's voice appeared in his ears again:

'Ogami, I can't see you on the map. 'Ogami didn't speak, and the omnic prosthetic hand conveyed his thoughts with electronic sounds:

'I don't know where I am now. It's probably a very dense space. It should be some kind of integrated container. Here is one of the items we have been looking for - the body of the sword. '

Nuomiguo's voice was not very surprised. The long search was enough to calm her down:
'Do not impulse. '

Ogami opened the foam paper covering the container with one hand and responded at the same time:
'rest assured. '

When all the foam paper was put aside, a black box appeared in Ogami's field of vision. Even though the surrounding environment was relatively dark, he could still judge the texture of the box - it was mixed with many inactive metals. The alloy box is specially used to store some sharper evil objects.

He took out the wedge pill and tried to pry open the box, but failed.

He used his omnic prosthetic hand to jam the gap in the box. As the power surged, the heat dissipation hydraulic valves on both sides of the omnic prosthetic hand opened, spraying high-temperature hot air around.

As the high-temperature hot air was continuously sprayed out, the gap in the box became wider and wider, until there was a slight "click" sound, and Ogami felt that there was finally no resistance in her hands - the box was opened.

When the box was completely opened, the [Sensitive Data Interruption Transmitter] keenly captured the signal emitted from the box, intercepted it, and quickly translated it——

[It was forcibly destroyed from the outside, and the physical characteristics of the destroyer have been photographed...]

Ogami's physical characteristics were completely recorded in the box and prepared to be sent out in the form of data pictures.

Fortunately, this information was intercepted, allowing Ogami to have enough time to research his target.

Ogami continued to use the [Sensitive Data Interruption Transmitter] to trace the direction of the signal, and finally found the box's antenna behind a very inconspicuous small metal block on the wall behind the box.

He destroyed the antenna and used his omnic hand to send a large current to the wires at the back of the antenna.

There was a flash of sparks, accompanied by the smell of burning plastic, and the signal captured by the [Sensitive Data Interruption Transmitter] was interrupted.

Ogami stretched out his omnic prosthetic hand and took the thing in the box in his hand.

In the darkness, the thing looked like a sword. There were three branches on each side of the sword body, and a total of seven branches on the top tip. It was completely black, and it was different from the one Ogami remembered.

'That's it...'

He thought he should have been very excited or very disappointed, but when he stood in front of this thing, all the emotions were mixed together.

'Is that that thing? Nuomiguo's voice was filled with excitement.

'Yes, Nuomi Guo, yes, that's it. Do you remember that every time we go to a place where there may be a chance of [returning to immortality], there will be such a sword?
The last clue we got points to this sword, which means that this sword is the key to [returning to immortality], but I think that returning to immortality is not as simple as suicide - I also recommend that you don't try it easily, because even if you die , [Immortal] will still be quietly reborn somewhere else in the world. '

'I see. '

'You once sealed immortality in your body. We have wanted to return this immortality to its owner for so many years, but now it seems that the owner of this immortality is actually the world itself.

If we want to end immortality, we have to end this era and this world - I was panicked when I came to this conclusion, so I continued to pursue it. It wasn't until I entered the [Cemetery] that I realized that the matter was not just [destruction] ] can solve it so easily, otherwise [Apocalypse] would have ended everything, how could it be my turn?
What we want to end is in the deeper world, in the BIOS - the reincarnation we want to end is not just human greed, but also the endless replacement of generations - just like the walled city back then, we To put an end to the endless repetition of human nature—

What we want to end is the cyclical law of all cycles!
——Now I think this is the real immortality! '

'But the immortal power we once sealed is in my body. '

'So it's up to you to wield this sword. '

'What will happen then? '

'I have no idea. '

'You'll protect me, won't you? '

'I will always be by your side. '

After a firm response, the entire dark space suddenly trembled with a very small amplitude but extremely high frequency.

Ogami realized something was wrong, turned around and left with his sword in hand.

But things changed faster than he imagined. The extremely high-frequency trembling ended in an instant, followed by an uncontrollable feeling of weightlessness——

The entire warehouse is rising rapidly!
Ogami stood firm and immediately realized that he might have been transported into a spacecraft, and what he was experiencing now was the rocket boosting stage of the spacecraft, so the feeling of weightlessness was getting stronger and stronger.

Ogami's physical strength was enough to allow him to resist the strong feeling of weightlessness and all other discomforts, but it was not enough to allow him to destroy the spacecraft and fall from the sky without being discovered - he did try - when his vision suddenly changed, he He rushed to the porthole and saw that the imperial capital had become a small square in his field of vision, the size of a palm.

He had no confidence that he would survive a fall from such a height.

He held the strange sword and stood next to the porthole, watching the starry sky in front of him getting brighter and brighter, and then getting darker and darker, until the surface of the earth became a curved arc, and the entire planet appeared in his field of vision.

'How spectacular...'

He suddenly realized that he had never looked at the world so quietly.

The feeling of weightlessness changed again, and Ogami knew that it had entered a new stage of rocket boost.

He thought he would enter the uninhabited deep sky, but he didn't expect that a few minutes later, an incredible behemoth appeared in front of him.

He stared at the boundless starry sky, and the majestic and miraculous creation made him completely speechless.

That is……

A city!
